A Successful Rocky Mountain Climber.

Mount stephen, the second highest
peak in the Rockies, l0,523 feet above
the sea level, was scaled this summer
by Mr.. J. J. Macarthur. OF Aylmer,
who for the two past seasons hss been
engaged in making Typographical
survey of the Rockies. On his yentu-
esome journey Mr.. Macarthur was sc-
compauied by an assistant. A start
was made ut day break, the ascent &C.
cupying the best part of one day.
Their outfit was trifling consisting SIM
ply Of camera, a weighing two pounds
aud a trsnsitory light, an sstronomi-
cal instrument aud steel pointed al
penstock. The climb proved difficult
from the start, AS the ascent was very
abrupt Allvegitstlon ceased at the
hight OF three thousand feet above the
track. Once the snow line was reach
ed the greatest care had to be exercised
rs false step on the ice might have
been followed by fatal results mt'
Macarthur led the way and strapped
around his waist was thin rope con-
Meeting him with his assistant. This
precaution had TO be taken as crevices
and corners In the Ice exist at every
turn. Proceeding along cautiously,
an enormous glacier was successfully
surmounted with the friendly aid OF
the alpeustock. onlya few minutes
were spent Mt the summit 10 taking a
few photographic views. A longer
stay was out OF the question, owing to
the lateuess OF the hour and the ne
ces.ity ofgetting down before nightfall.
The descent was made without acci-
dent Several ofthe views taken may
appear in the forthcoming depart
mental blue book.-Macleod Gazette.

3-s-is at Butte.

Ii seems that the prevalence of
crime in this city has awakened old
residents to the necessity Of purging
the city OF most undesirable element.
The city is infested with FOUNDERS,
pimps and vagabonds, against whom
no specific charges can be brought,
and who therefore fail 20 meet their
deserts ut the hands Of the police. II
they were all rounded up, the Jail
would not afford accommodations for
half of them, and the cost of their
keep would be serious tax on the
law-sbiding citizens. Under the cir
cumstances il seems best TO make
wholesale clearance, and the work has
already begun. Within the last few
days q number OF the crooks have re-
ceived letters warning them to seek
other pastures without delay, and
adorned with the cabalistic device,
'3.7.77.n Those who have been
favored with these missives are taking
the hint. and making themselves
scarce. One ."Hsrry," who has
haunted Galens street for the past
year, exhibited his letter in saloon
yesterday morning. He WAS then
preparing to emlgrate. Many of the
crooks have no postofiice address, but
they would probably find ii profitable
to realize that the 3-7-77 applies to all
OF them.-Miner.

TO WATCH THE COLD WAVES.

signal Service to st. Paul

nounces the departure Of Lieut.. T. NJ.
Woodruff, of the First United States
infantry, from the national capital TO
ST. Paul, Minn., where he is to estab-
lish weather service in the north.
western states and territories. The
nature OF this service is new, and ex-
cellent results are expected. II is TO
herald the approach Of cold waves.
This subject has been closely studied
by the Lieutenant, and hts writings
thereon we're much appreciated at the
chief signal Office. All the reports
from the chief signal offices in WASH
irgton Territory, Montana, Dakota,
Utah, Colorado, Minnesota, the north
ern Rocky mountain region and Man
itobs and British Columbia will to
sent TO him at st. Paul. He will
then make his computations and de-
ductions In reference TO the approach
OF cold waves. the speed at which they
are travelling, and when they may be
looked for in the various districts east
of his station while on TIE way TO the
ocean. The extent OF the country
from which Lieut.. Woodruff will
gather his information will embrace
about 100000 square miles. 1t will
reach westward from st. Paul to the
Pacifi ocean, and cover the area due
north and south for about 900 miles.
AS 81. Paul is about the center Of the
continent, although at the eastern
edge OF 1.-THE great northwest" this
vast extent will give him good field
for his work. 1t is believed that his
timely warnings and foreshsdowings
during the coming winter may be the
means of saving a great deal of prop
erty and human life.

hits ia the entire series were nearly

carried Detroit to the front eight
times out o: eleven. The games were
nearly all characterized by heavy
batting and rather loose fielding, as an
average Of three errors to the game for
Detroit and five for 81. Louis will tes-
tify. The cold weather is undoubted-
ly accountable for many Of the errors.
For Detroit Getzien pitched 5 games

he was knocked for Is. Among the

Tbe OHciaI Paper Of Custer County.
Wichita eagle., 1887-08-17
A NEW SCHEME.

The most novel and at the same time th'
most audacious claim against the govern
ment growing out of the war between thu
states is one the state of Virginia proposes
TO present and prosecute for alleged dam
ages sustained by the state in its dismem-
berment in the formation and admission
into the Union of the state Of West Vir-
ginia organized out of counties which
withdrew from the mother state in 1868.
The plea set up in advocacy of the claim is
that the states ability to meet its obliga-
lions was interfered with to such an extent
that it was compelled to In a measure re-
pudiate part Of its Indebtedness, and its
continued inability to meet its obligations.
The Washington Republican advocates the
payment of the claim after the following
fashion:
West Virginia was creation of the
United States. 1t is true that few of the
people inhabiting certain counties in the
state of Virginia met together, formed
state constitution, and declared themselves
state But without the moral and physi-
cal force of the United States, both dis
played In its behalf, this declaration would
have been farce, and 1t would never have
been made but for the condition of war
then existing. The people Of West Vir-
ginia are in no way responsible for the
wrong done Virginia, nor are they respon-
sible for any of the debt of Virginia. The
United States did violence to the state
destroyed its autonomy, and is alone re-
sponsible. AS question of law there is
no doubt of the liability of the United
States to the creditors of Virginia.
To be sure the people of West Virginia
were in no way responsible for the
Indebtedness of Virginia; their action in
organizing a separate state was simply
peaceful protest against the forcible revo-
lutionary action of Virginia in its efforts to
disrupt the government, and when thus
organized there was no good reason to
deny the new state admission into the
Union, ha wing first fulfilled all the require
ments precedent to such admission. We
do not accept the Republicans conclusions
that the claim is legal one for which the
United States are liable to Virginias |
If Virginia, by her voluntary
action, brought about a condition which |
her ability to pay her debts,
1t is her misfortune, and not the fault of
either West Virginia or the United States.
In our judgment there is no sort of obliga-
ion or legal or moral responsibility or
liability for the payment of the claim
except upon Virginia. The Republicans
If Virginia recognize this and will meet it
n an honorable way if placed in position
o do SO, which event, we are pleased to
tote, is altogether probable.

The Harper Sentinel claims that injustice
has been done to Harper by the Wichita
EAGLE, and is endeavoring to get the citi-
zens Of Harper to boycott the same by re-
fusing to subscribe or buy a copy. The
withdrawal of the patronage of this band
of schemers and cut Threats means certain
death to the proud old bird. Don't be so
cruel lsey.-Anthony Free Press.
While the EAGLE appreciates the solic-
itude manifested by its contemporary, the
Free Press, in its welfare, it is as
sured that the entire absence of any provo
cation on the part of the EAGLE for such
action as is suggested by the Sentinel,
renders friendly interference entirely I'M
necessary. Besides, the people OF Harper
are too intelligent, fairminded and appreci-
alive of disinterested acts of friendship, oc-
casions for the exercise of which the EAGLE
has cheerfully availed itself, to permit
themselves led off by a plea of injustice,
which exists only In fertile imagination.
The people of Harper want the news, fresh
and reliable, and they know they can al
ways get it In the EAGLE, and they are not
likely to be deferred therefrom through the
selfish promptings of any individual or
CLIQUE.

The Chicago Journal advocates, as the
best means of reducing the number of
casualties in case of railroad accidents, the
construction of passenger cars from steel.
AS Is well known the majority of casuali-
ties in cases of derailment or collision re.
suit from the crushing of the cars, the
splinters tearing or decorating the victims
or binding them down to meet the awful
fate of death by fire. The Journal believes
that steel cars could be so constructed on
the truss plan that they would remain
practically intact, even though pitched in
to heap with the force of those at Chats
worth. The Journal adds: Such cars
would no: be heavier than the wooden cars
now in use. Turned upside down, or
STA nding on end, the passengers would, of
course, be liable to injury, but not to be
transfxed by murderous splinters, held
down by beams across their bodies, and
burned up in funeral pyre Such cars
are possible, and railroad managers should
adopt them In order to avoid the danger of
numbering their passengers by wholesale in
case train should be wrecked.

Boss Corrigan is proving veritable
Banoqis ghost in Kansas City. He lays
his hand upon everything, from local cleo
tions to railroad manipulation out of which
there Is hope Of turning a nimble penny
The people may combine snd down him in
an election; the city council may unite to
thwart his schemes, and the local press
may concentrate their fire at him as often
as he makes target of himself, snd that is
pretty much all the time; in spite of 1t all
the boss hobs up serenely from beneath the
aggregation of opposition. With him K.
c. is In constant turmoil; without him 1t
would probably die of inertia. 1t seems to
be question with the municipality oppo-
site the Raw whether it will wear itself out
fighting Corrigan or rot out in his absence,
with the chances decidedly In favor of the
grst mentioned proposition.

service constantly improve whatever
party is in power. The fact Is that
when Mr.. Cleveland came In the post
office, generally throughout the country,
was well managed, and 1t was improving
in efficiency day by day. We had got
used to trusting it; 1t was an easy running
and correctly working machine Now 1t
is an increasing confusion; mails are de-
layed in carriage and distribution, and
letters are lost with a frequency that Is
excessively annoying.
Why Is this? In the first place Mr.
Cleveland put at the head of the postoffice
Mr. Villas, politician who knew abso-
showed almost at the beginning of his
it mainly as political machine, place for
the support of Democratic political work
ers. New postmasters were appointed who
had to learn their business and to reward
the local workers" They began to dis
charge the experienced clerks and the letter
carriers, and the men who took their places
were unskilled and In many cases unfit
So the local delivery began to deterio-
rate. Then the mail agents were changed,
and the mail distribution begun to grow
loose and uncertain. 1t is evident that the
new men have not yet got hold of the ropes,
and that many of them are utterly incom
petent and careless of their duties
We believe the time is near when there
will be at least one radical change in the
post office. AS we suggested the other day,
the postmaster general ought to be perma-
nent officer, disconnected as far as possible
from politics-a thorough business man. He
and the whole cops under him should not
depend for their places upon presidential
election and 1t should be impossible to use
the post Office as an election machine. The
interests involved are too vast, too compli-
Gated; they come too close to every day life
to be the sport of politicians, who are sim
ply playing game for offices. Nine tenths
of the people care nothing about the offices,
but they are all touched instantly by irregu-
larities in the carriage and distribution of
the mails. We want business post office.
What would become of the business of the
great express companies If ther heads,
clerks and managers were changed at any
moment and every few years certainly, at
the whim of some political schemers?
The post office is an Illustration of the
civil service which every body can under
stand. 1t Is not of the least consequence
whether the person conducting it are Dem
Ocrats or Republicans or prohibitionists
They must be skilled and they must be
honest And the greater part of them will
not be skilled, certainly, If changes are fire.
4uent and probably not honest if they are
appointed for success in political manipu- |
ations
civil Service Reform" has a definite |
meaning In regard to the post office; 1t |
means regular, efficient, trusty mail ser
vice. And this will be large issue In the
next campaign
